Potomac Heritage Trail Bridge Project

Saturday, October 27, 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM
POSTPONED TO SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, BECAUSE OF RAIN
more details will be posted here when available

Come on out and join volunteers from the Potomac Heritage Trail Association, Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, REI, Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, and the local community to continue building the Potomac Heritage Trail. We will be carrying in materials and constructing a bridge to span a small ravine along the Potomac near Leesburg, Virginia. Volunteers should bring water, lunch and work gloves, and dress for the weather and wear boots. Those with hammers and adjustable wrenches are welcome to bring them. This is strenuous work, for volunteers 14 and older. Those from 14-18 must be accompanied by a participating parent. Park staff will be on hand to sign for student volunteer service hours. Registration is necessary so we have the right number of tools.

Directions:
From Route 7, head toward Ashburn/Lansdowne.

If traveling west: turn right onto Smith Circle heading north. Follow Smith Circle to Island Avenue. Right onto Island Avenue until it deadends at Potomac Drive. Turn left and follow Potomac Drive to the cul de sac. Please park responsibly along the side of the road.

If traveling east on Route 7: turn LEFT onto Smith Circle, heading north. Follow Smith to Island Ave. Turn LEFT onto Island and follow until it dead ends at Potomac Drive. Turn left on Potomac and follow to the end. Park along side of the road.
